Well, except for airport workers and TSOs. We'd have to give them a bypass because otherwise they might be subject to the same 'inconvenience' the rest of us are.
I wouldn't be surprised to see someone try to come up with an off-site security station for all international US airports, with completely isolation between international and domestic terminals.
If we do something like this, it will not be because of security. It will be because it would be massively expensive and would greatly enrich former DHS employees and their cohorts.
